Thread by @Theo_TJ_Jordan on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - CNN: "Argentina once led on LGBTQ rights. After 4 lesbians are set on fire, critics blame rising intolerance on Milei’s government"
"Wow, this is some of the most wicked Hatecraft I have seen. And you know that's a high bar. This isn't some activist org, but our Most Trusted Name In News. 👁 🧵 Pull up a stool and let me show you how these bastards craft this evil political tool. ✊️ I saw it on Yahoo 👇 and that's CNN's above. Both paint an obvious picture. The far-right (aka: all opposition) is evil and, really, responsible for the murder of lesbians. They call it lesbicide. 😵💫 It's worth noting the little cunt who wrote this. Only pics I could find... It starts with a truly awful fact-pattern in Argentina. Some 62yr old madman lit his neighbor's apartment on fire and killed 3 of the 4 occupants. He's obviously deeply unwell and meant to murder them. Horrible. But that's what we have here. A murder of women who live together. Michael confirms not once but twice in his own piece that this isn't even a "hate crime"... "Police have arrested a 62-year-old man who lived in the building but, according to Conder, aren’t currently treating the incident as a hate crime as they say the motive is still unclear. Despite calls from LGBTQ activists, the arson is currently being investigated as an aggravated homicide rather than a hate crime." Journalists have to keep some semblance of reporting the most basic facts, I guess. But wait a minute, what is the entire theme of this "news article"? 👁Well, here are the three bolded subsections...
"Rise in hate crimes"
"Milei under fire"
"Progress in Argentina"
Ohhh, so it's a bunch of FrankenFemme scripture and Queer+ Equity garbage from some punk-ass Gen Z who traffics in emotional-abuse propaganda to please his corporate masters. ✊️ "Progress" 🌊 Fuck off, Michael Rios. It's so pretextual to any functioning brain that it's disgusting. The fact this is on outlets like CNN tells such a story. It's been that way for years, but I'll get to that in a second. It's grotesque Hatecraft to functioning brains, yes. But that does not include everyone... You'll note the Gen Z kid's CNN piece is all based around activist groups. Of course it is, like always. Same astroturf revolutionary bullshit we see across the west right now. ✊️ Always driven by Hatecraft. 😵💫🌊 Look at the scenes it's causing there... Mighty familiar, eh? ✊️🧟♂️🧟🧟♀️
Look how the story is being covered locally... "The attack may be ‘the most abhorrent hate crime in recent years,’ according to the Argentine LGBT Federation" Yeah, it just "may be", batshit crazy Queer+ Equity revolution activist group. ✊️😵💫And who wrote that? This chick. 👇 some loco FrankenFemme who is consumed by this Jonestown shit. ✊️😵💫 Of course; I mean, I really didn't even need to click and that's from another hemisphere. It's The Same Thing everywhere! I don't even want to tag her. This facade is so easy This is no different than what we see in the states, of course. It's so vile, but Team Progress is so brainwashed they can't even see what they're part of. Most don't want to see it. Same people able to be convinced Biden was competent until last week 😵💫🌊... Here's what should really unnerve you... We all remember the manufactured insanity of 2020 (aka: last election cycle 💡). That was done under race. ⬛️✊🌊 But it was cultivated by the same outlets and advanced with the same type of Hatecraft. Well... They tipped their hand that they were going to radicalize the same this cycle around Queer+. ✊🌊 What we are facing right now is somethinf historic. Most people still don't appreciate the scope and ramifications at all. This propaganda is destroying people. Just as it was designed to... This is why they must destroy Milei. 👇 The same reason all opposition across every country in the west becomes the same "far-right" Monster. "Reactionary" 👁 Take your Hatecraft and GFY! The party is over."

Veronica 🇦🇷 on X - "Argentina aquí. No hay marchas, ni protestas en la calle por este hecho. Solo un grupo politizado de feministas relacionado con el peronismo y la izquierda sacan a relucir este homicidio como odio a la comunidad del alfabeto. En cuanto al feminismo y la comunidad, la ciudadanía está aún impactada y no olvidará el horrible asesinato de un niño de 5 años en manos de su madre y su pareja lesbiana. El niño fue golpeado, torturado y sodomizado sistemáticamente por la pareja" ("Argentina here. There are no marches or protests in the street for this fact. Only a politicized group of feminists related to Peronism and the left bring up this homicide as hatred of the alphabet community.

The boy was systematically beaten, tortured and sodomized by the couple")

Thread by @0xAlaric on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Walter Cronkite is why we lost the Vietnam War. By 1968 we had damaged the NVA/VC badly — the Tet Offensive was a last-ditch, all-out effort. They were expended. All it would have taken was a coup de grace.
Walter Cronkite (the “most trusted man in America”) went to Vietnam in the aftermath, and gave his famous “mired in stalemate” report based on what he saw. What he didn’t see was the overall strategic reality — but that report irreparably shifted public opinion against the war. Contrary to popular opinion, it wasn’t hippies at protests that turned public opinion — it was Cronkite’s poor read of the situation. He later went on to say that he regretted the report, and its results. But it was too late. In the moment, it killed public support for Vietnam (fairly high btw) and forced moderation — at a time where the US needed one final offensive to finish the war. The end result was indeed fighting “for nothing,” because the US essentially gave up.
We didn’t lose Vietnam because of the indomitable fighting spirit of the Vietnamese (lmao) — but rather because the political rearguard faltered when it needed to push. If anything, Vietnam should serve as a warning against half-measures, and cavorting to public opinion."
Melissa Chen on X - "In that slimy NYT profile of @bariweiss , one of the most annoying journos on the internet calls @TheFP a “salon for the privileged laments of the powerful.” The dude is writing this in the New York Times, for the New York Times. Seriously? The media is one is the most hated institutions in America precisely because it’s been full of trust fund kids and elite-educated clout-chasers whose writing masquerades as “the grievances of the oppressed.” And guess what? Fresh new media outfits like The Free Press that don’t have contempt for average and working class Americans who are sick of imbibing propaganda and luxury beliefs, are going to out-compete the old guards. Cutting herself loose from the NYT was the best thing Bari did. They’re forced to sit on the sidelines and watch her star rise while they get seconds from her scoops and reporting. She gets to lead the news cycle on which the Times now has to follow. Must be so hard for them."

i/o on X - "The Atlantic has posted a correction to its gross mischaracterization of my position on group differences, which reads: "This article originally misstated that the X account @Eyeslasho has posted about the 'genetic inferiority' of Black people. In fact, the account has not directly attributed group differences to biology."
I'm obviously pleased that the correction was made, but I'm not particularly pleased with its new "corrected" description of my account:
"Musk has also repeatedly engaged with @Eyeslasho , a self-proclaimed “data-driven” account that has posted statistics supposedly illustrating the inferiority of Black people."
The publication just had to work the morally-loaded word "inferiority" in there (even if it meant watering down its attack with the phrase "supposedly illustrating" to give it some wiggle room if criticized for yet again mischaracterizing me). It's a familiar tactic and is a transparent indication of the author's intent to smear. The only people who use the terms "inferior" or "superior" to describe racial groups are far-right racists who use it sincerely and progressives who use it in bad faith to attempt to publicly taint people who talk candidly about group differences."

The Atlantic on X - "Jeff Bezos "has fallen victim to the campaign to convince the world that all media should be assumed to be biased politically unless proved otherwise," @chucktodd writes:"
Thread by @Musa_alGharbi on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Yes, absolutely. Mainstream media is a (*checks notes*) poor helpless victim when it comes to (*double-checks*) influencing public perceptions about culture, world events, and the media itself. Bezos is definitely *blaming the victim.* Poor widdle mainstream media. 😥 A 🧵
It's sad that they can't even be perceived neutral when journalists are rabidly clamoring for a political endorsement of the Democratic nominee, and the paper itself quite explicitly defined itself in opposition to Trump since 2016. And the endorsements definitely don't reflect or enhance perceptions of political bias. The fact that the paper has literally never outright endorsed a Republican since 1976 when they started the practice -- this is just a pure coincidence: washingtonpost.com/opinions/patri… The Democrats are just better, 100 percent of the time. That's not bias, that's fact. And the editorial bones should make no bones about it. And if the public thinks it might indicate bias that over nearly 50 years the paper endorses only one political party for the presidency (and overwhelmingly endorses Democrats for lower seats as well) -- that's just because *those people* have their brains cooked by the Koch Brothers and Trump. And speaking of facts, the fact that Democrats outnumber Republicans 10:1 in the field likely does absolutely nothing to influence which topics they cover and how they cover them (as I highlight here, we're clearly unbiased: youtube.com/watch?v=o-uS14… ). It's silly that people would even think that. There's no evidence of bias whatsoever with how outlets cover (or ignore) contentious moral and political issues. How would anyone even get this idea, other than by through evil right-wing smear campaigns? The fact that the Washington Post and most other mainstream media outlets abruptly grew intensely focused on prejudice and discrimination across all dimensions during the "Great Awokening" -- this likely has nothing whatsoever to do with the political, ideological, and demographic composition of the field: musaalgharbi.com/2023/02/08/gre… It's dumb to even think that. The fact that the @washingtonpost was absolutely obsessed with Trump, covered him more than any other candidate pre-election and post-election, covering him more than Joe Biden even after he was voted out of office -- with nearly unanimously negatively throughout irrespective of world events -- and the fact that similar patterns held for pretty much all other media outlets... It's really unfair that anyone could possibly perceive bias in this in any way, shape, or form: musaalgharbi.com/2019/11/13/med… You definitely can't check out my book to find out a lot more about the composition and political economy of the journalism field, and how it relates to a lot of these tensions: musaalgharbi.com/we-have-never-… After all, there's nothing to even possibly discuss here. Chuck Todd is right. Mainstream media organizations are just tiny helpless victims of an empty moral panic. Nothing they should, would, or even could change about what they do. And no need to change -- things are going swimmingly!"
BREAKING: MSNBC writer, producer admits network has ‘made their viewers dumber,’ is ‘indistinguishable’ from Democrat Party: OMG reports - "An MSNBC staffer revealed that the network is doing everything in its power to help Vice President Kamala Harris defeat former President Donald Trump in November, according to an undercover investigation by O'Keefe Media Group (OMG). He also admitted that the network has contributed to the dumbing down of their viewers, have "narrowed" their views, and is "indistinguidable" from the Democrat Party. Basel Hamdan, a writer and producer for MSNBC News, told an OMG journalist that the network has gone all-in on ensuring Harris wins the White House, describing MSNBC as a "mouthpiece" and propaganda machine for the DNC. "The type of people who work in Democratic politics, and in the campaign, are a lot of the same type of people that would appear on air on MSNBC," Hamdan told the undercover journalist. "It hammers home the point that I'm making: that this news network is indistinguishable from the party." Hamdan chastised the network for being "very partisan Democrat," claiming that MSNBC is "aligned too closely" with the Democratic Party and would benefit more if it were not. Furthermore, he claimed, according to the video, that MSNBC's ultra-left-leaning slant has taught its viewers to dislike not only Republicans but also moderate Democrats. The producer said that MSNBC has made its viewers "dumber" over the years, saying it conducts "bad journalism" to maintain its progressive slant, which includes pushing misinformation on its audience. "[MSNBC] should tell the truth from a progressive perspective but they shouldn't be tied to a political party. They just are way too cozy with Democratic politicians," he said. "The anchor and the politician are just in total agreement about everything." Pressing the matter further, the undercover OMG journalist asked Hamdan: "Do you feel like MSNBC is doing enough to help the Harris campaign?" "I mean, they're doing all they can to help," he said, explaining that the network has been "amplifying" the VP and "what her message of the day is.""

Meme - Escape The Echo Chamber: CNN continues to double down on their blatantly slanted and false reporting on Joe Rogan. Even the Washington Post is taking the network to task. To paraphrase Rogan: “If CNN will lie about something as small as this, what does this say about the integrity of their big stories?”
“After hearing Rogan’s concerns about how CNN cast the issue, Gupta said, “They shouldn’t have said that.” “Yet CNN’s statement sounds more like the work of an advocacy group than a journalism outfit. The “issue,” actually, begins and ends with the integrity of CNN’s content. If we take Rogan’s prescription claim at face value — and CNN hasn’t challenged it — then the network’s coverage was slanted in some cases and straight-up incorrect in others.”… “So in this instance, you don’t have to endorse Rogan to abhor CNN’s coverage of this topic. Here’s a network, after all, that prides itself on impeccable factual hygiene, a place where there’s no conceptual hair too fine to split, no political statement too sprawling to flyspeck. It’s tough living by your own standards.”"

JD Vance Smacks Down Jake Tapper Over CNN's 'Russia Hoax' Coverage of Trump - "The conversation covered former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly's recent allegations that Trump was a "fascist" and touched on the Trump-Russia investigation during his presidency. Vance asked Tapper "to step back a little bit and ask yourself a basic question about network integrity. You guys [CNN] talked about the Russia Hoax nonstop." Tapper interjected, "The FBI was investigating it," adding that the outlet was covering the FBI investigation. In 2017, the FBI began an investigation into allegations that Russia launched an influence campaign favoring Trump in the 2016 election. The "Steele dossier," which was created by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, contained unverified and uncorroborated allegations that were reported on by news outlets, including CNN. The document, originally opposition research, was funded by Democrats... "And so you took the words of unnamed FBI agents and put them on your network as if they were the gospel truth, you did it again and again. A viewer of your network would have believed that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin conspired in 2016—" "No," Tapper said shaking his head. "—That was totally and preposterously false," Vance said. Tapper rebutted, "What you just said is false. We covered an FBI investigation." Vance pushed back saying, "You covered it in a way that gave credence to anonymous sources' accusations, you did it yourself, your network did it." He later added that, "Kamala Harris and her media allies--and I would put CNN in this category--you guys seem to care more about Donald Trump's past than the future of the American people.""
JD Vance To CNN: I Reject The Premise Of Your Question, You're Putting Words In Trump's Mouth - "TAPPER: And this is what John Kelly -- this is what John Kelly was alarmed by, the idea of using the U.S. military to go after Americans. That's what he said.
VANCE: He's not -- Donald Trump never said Americans, writ large. You keep on putting words in his mouth.
TAPPER: Are they -- or are they not Americans?...
VANCE: He said that Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi, he used in a separate context in a separate conversation. And what you're doing is you're smashing two totally different conversations...
VANCE: He's going to pursue economic policies that lower the cost of groceries and make life more affordable again. He talks about it every single day on the campaign trail. And so do I. What you're talking about is an anonymously sourced story or one guy who...
TAPPER: Nothing anonymously sourced, zero...
VANCE: Or who -- one guy who is a disgruntled employee.
TAPPER: I told you 10 people.
VANCE: Five other people push back against him and said that what he said was dishonest. So why don't we talk about the policy that's affecting American citizens and not what Donald Trump allegedly said, according to one guy who's pissed off because he got fired by Donald Trump?"
